Beserk is on blu??! ooh I have the last slimpack dvd release and the pq was great but i'd be highly tempted to upgrade!]


****EDIT: just checked amazon and its the rumoured new film series rather than a re-issue of the older anime series, i'll still buy it though, even if the origional is a classic.******************

It's just the 1st movie, though as the second was only released in Japan in June, we should see tat in another 6 months. It's a bit pricey at the moment, but im hoping it will drop a bit soon so I get the lowest price even if it rise's again.

Not seen it turn up on fansub (which is usually how I catch these things) but I will buy anything beserk related.

Not seen it either. But as it's recieved similer praise as the orignal series, has stuning animation (from what I can tell from the screen shot's), and, as you say, is freakin' Berzerk, it's worth a punt.

For me those change's are what ruined it for me. It's like the original Fullmetal Alchemist series, I hated how Sloth became Edwards re-encarnated mother instead of the original construct of father, something that has now been fixed. Don't get me started on how Pride and Wrath where ****ed up! Only Lust, Gluttony and Envy where depicted correctly.
Similer occurence's for the cast of Gantz.
The animation was amazing, but the change's alienated me. Though it's hardly better than Naruto and Bleach, how they make 2 filler arc's for every cannon arc.
Do like the Zampakuto Unknow Tale's saga though. That was bad ass.

Which paranoia agent release is it? The uk release is very briefly cut, removing a scene depicting a suicide because it was 'instructional' and clearly people can't figure out how to kill themselves so I bet it prevented tons of suicides. (SACRCASM!)

That really is BS, isn't it? It's OK to show a 14 year old's tit's on a 12 movie, but not suicide on a 15-18 tv series? Bloody BBFC.

Red Scorpion, Cat O' 9 Tails, My Bloody Valentine (US BD, not 3D). Not much since it's payday but I got £100 of pre-orders this month and I did most of my xmas shopping this morning.

+ Top Gun steelbook has shipped.

I've always been able to seperate the manga and shows in my mind. The first fullmetal alchemist only really bothered me near the end where it just felt like stuff was being made up as they went along, but certainly Brotherhood is much much better.

As for bleach and naruto, well I'm hoping someone takes the series and edits out out the filler and re-issues them in some form, kind of like dragonball kai.

Was tempted by this at £55, but HMV have it for £30 so snatched it, a great set, but be warned a lot of the very best Hammer is missing, but more than enough thrills for £30
